I'm a recently graduated University student, and this article has been essential in helping me start to build a more professional demo reel. I've run into one major snag though, and that's regarding content. Not audio content, but visual. I have plenty of work to pick from for my reel, but it mostly consists of recordings of my original music which I've mixed or soundscapes for installations and live performances of which there is no video. Is it ok to have a sound demo which is purely audio? Or would it be a lot more beneficial to have a visual component? If so, would you recommend starting from scratch and building my demo around some visual material, or rather finding good visuals to suit the sound I already have? As I said before you're article has already helped me a lot and any more advice is highly appreciated : ) Hey Kyle, Thanks for all the wicked tips!

It works perfectly for me, but others could not get it working with their equipment. I found that I also had some trouble getting it to work on other peoples hardware. Not sure what's causing this, but I will post on ACB when it is resolved. Thanks! @Olyvia, I have been working on other projects, so I have had no time to finalize Grain Machine.

Did you ever release it and if so could you point me in the direction of the download? I would love to see what its capable of! Thanks!

Splendid! Good to hear that it works on Lion. Did you re-compile or are you using my Snow Leopard binaries? As far as the CPU usage goes, it might be time to try and optimize the brightness tracking algorithm, but I haven't had any trouble on my aging Core 2 Duo. @bill d. Splendid!

It wasn't the Java (installed the recommended fix then removed it). I had a look at the errors in Console and noticed that there were some old files in the InputManager directory, so I deleted them and IAC data is flowing to LIVE. Will test and let you know how it goes.... One noticeable issue: GMS is rockin' the CPU for sure. Currently bouncing between 100 and 130 % in Activity Monitor. Thanks again! JOHN: Success!

Hmm... Well there might be a little more to it than I thought. I am assuming that you have manually installed Java on your Mac? Apparently Lion does not come with Java pre-installed like former versions of OSX. @bill d. Hmm… Well there might be a little more to it than I thought.
